While browsing online for a new 2OV head office, we happened on this gorgeous private island, off the coast of Bluefields, Nicaragua, which is listed for sale at a very reasonable price of $475,000 (R9 million).

Now this may seem like a lot of money to most people, but it’s a remarkable illustration of just how bonkers local house prices have become. But before we get weepy about our ZAR, we have to ask if there is a catch, because well, it’s a private island… in the Caribbean… for the same price as a bare plot in Camps Bay.

The island is called Iguana Island and spans an area of five acres (20,200 square metres). It features a main house with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a dining room, a bar and a living area.

The island is also equipped with a backup generator for power and a water catchment system adds to the island’s self-sufficiency. TV and internet services are obviously also available (thanks Starlink!).

The catch? There is none. But if this is too tropical for you, there is always this 0,1 acre (525 square metres) empty plot in Camps Bay that costs R 8.9 million, although it doesn’t have so much as a palm tree on it.

It is within walking distance of Caprice though, so that’s as good as a private beach. Kind of.

 If you do decide that Camps Bay is a better investment than your own island, and considering that we might move there if Seth is willing to pawn his Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime, you might want to come visit. Fortunately, Air du Cap just received their air services license and will be taking to the skies early next year, albeit only domestically for now.
